Idea for a community run anti-bot feature

everyone hates to fill out captcha’s so just forcing this upon everyone will punish the players even more than they already are so how about this.

  • a captcha system that only shows up for suspected bots.

lets say multiple people in a map notice odd behavior from a player that appears to be using a bot, they can right click this person and select ‘suspect bot’.
when 2, or 3 people do this same action the bot suspect will be interrupted from playing any further and has to fill out a captcha.

this way players themselves are in control of halting these bots that ruins their experience and no GMs are needed 24/7.

however, this also opens up a window for players to abuse this system, so i think a cooldown/safe period of 30 minutes after a person has correctly filled in a captcha will solve this.

just an idea.

It’s difficult for anything that’s community influenced, in Aion there was some /flag as a bot or something command that you could do to bots in game, what ended up happening was players were being muted / receiving the penalty of the flag because the numerous bots in the vicinity were flagging the player.

heh or just players trolling other players lol. i swear i had no part in such activities :wink:
